Research group Our group aims to study human gut microbes at a high resolution to study functional differences.

The Dwibedi lab focuses on studying human gut microbes at high resolution, with a particular interest in adaptive evolution and functional variation across different bacterial strains. We aim to identify functional overlaps across bacterial taxa and assess the fitness and prevalence of different strains based on geography, age, body sites, health status, and human evolutionary history. Additionally, we aim to understand how gut bacteria may be used as effective therapeutic agents and how the microbiome may influence specific drug responses. Our long-term goal is to advance microbiome-aided therapies by improving our understanding of the functional role of specific gut microbes in health and disease
